Podcasts about unseen world

Is there credible evidence for the supernatural? What should we make of verifiable near-death experiences (NDEs), angelic encounters, deathbed visions, and miraculous healings? Do these reports point to a reality beyond the material world?This week, Frank invites the one and only Lee Strobel on the program to discuss the compelling case for the unseen realm, as detailed in his fascinating new book, 'Seeing the Supernatural: Investigating Angels, Demons, Mystical Dreams, Near-Death Encounters, and Other Mysteries of the Unseen World.' Drawing from well-documented accounts and interviews with leading experts, Lee and Frank tackle questions like:What's the most convincing evidence for the existence of the soul?What are deathbed visions, and are they found in Scripture?Are there any reports of negative or frightening near-death experiences?Why doesn't God always grant miraculous healing when we pray?What happened when Lee encountered an angel when he was 12-years old?Are miracles still happening today?From personal stories to peer-reviewed studies, this episode uncovers the mysteries that science alone can't explain. Even the most skeptical listeners will be challenged to reconsider the limits of naturalism. You won't be able to peel yourself away from this fascinating conversation!Resources mentioned during the episode:Lee's website: https://leestrobel.com/Seeing the Supernatural by Lee Strobel - https://a.co/d/hH9l78N

From compelling personal accounts to biblical truth, Lee explores the mysteries of the unseen world through the lens of faith, science, and Scripture.

In this gripping episode, best-selling author and investigative journalist Lee Strobel sits down with Billy Hallowell and Jen Lilley to unpack his most personal and provocative project yet—Seeing the Supernatural: Investigating Angels, Demons, Mystical Dreams, Near-Death Encounters, and Other Mysteries of the Unseen World. Strobel, known for The Case for Christ, brings his legal mind and journalistic rigor to topics many believers shy away from—yet are desperate to understand.Why do so many people, even nonbelievers, report deathbed visions, angelic encounters, or near-death experiences that eerily align with biblical truths? Strobel shares riveting, documented accounts—from blind individuals gaining sight during clinical death to children describing angels with surprising biblical accuracy. And in a culture fascinated by the paranormal but increasingly distant from faith, Strobel explains how the supernatural may be the bridge to a deeper spiritual awakening.Jen shares her own awe and urgency, pointing to Scriptures many churches gloss over and reminding listeners that signs, wonders, and miracles aren't just relics of the past—they're promises for every believer today. Billy draws attention to the cultural irony: Hollywood embraces the demonic, while parts of the Church shy away from talking about the spiritual realm at all.From skepticism to belief, from Sunday school stories to peer-reviewed evidence, this conversation will challenge you to reevaluate what you believe about the invisible world—and why it matters for your walk with God today. Whether you're a doubter, a seeker, or a sold-out believer, this episode will stir your soul and ignite your imagination.

This week Bruce speaks about the work or Michael Levin, who is a biologist know for his work on cell cognition and collective intelligence or the idea that electrical signals between cells influence the formation of biological systems. His work has potentially massive implications in cancer research and other fields. Though rarely identified with 3rd way evolution, his work has more than a passing similarity to it. Like 3rd way evolutionists, he seeks to expand evolutionary theory beyond the alleged reductionism of a gene-centric or neo-Darwinian approach. Presumably, these bioelectric effects could be considered a kind of epigenetic or evolutionary process existing outside the genome.However, unlike the 3rd Way evolutionists, he's ready to back up his views with clever and shocking experiments that confront popular interpretations of gene-centric evolution head on.Can Levin's work possibly help us determine who is more right in the argument between 3rd Way evolutionists like Denis Noble or James Shapiro vs mainstream evolutionary biologists like Zach Hancock?Support us on Patreon

Perdita Finnis the co-founder, with her husband Clark Strand, of the feral fellowship The Way of the Rose, which inspired their book The Way of the Rose: The Radical Path of the Divine Feminine Hidden in the Rosary. They are currently at work on their next book together Circles Not Lines: Spiritual Community Beyond Patriarchy.In addition to extensive study with Zen masters, priests, spirit workers, and healers, she apprenticed with the psychic Susan Saxman, with whom she wrote The Reluctant Psychic. Perdita Finn now teaches popular workshops on Getting to Know the Dead. Participants are empowered to activate the miracles in their own lives with the help of their ancestors and recover their own intuitive magic. Her book Take Back the Magic: Conversations with the Unseen World is an intimate journey through her recovery of these lost ways. She speaks widely on how to collaborate with those on the other side, on the urgent necessity of a new romantic animism, and on the sobriety that emerges when we claim the long story of our souls. Her next book is The Body of My Mother.She lives with her family in the moss-filled shadows of the Catskill Mountains.Today Perdita shares with us about how the fellowship began... post-patriarchy... the economy of prayer... communicating with the other side and asking for help from them.

Maybe you’re eating an apple, or a piece of lettuce right now. Could be a broccoli stem or perhaps a lovely juicy tomato. If you are, are you wondering how intelligent that plant is? I’d guess not. But here’s a conversation that might make you think twice. Zoë Schlanger, a science writer for the Atlantic, has written an eye-opening book on the topic. It’s called The Light Eaters: How the Unseen World of Plant Intelligence Offers a New Understanding of Life on Earth. On today’s episode, Chris sits down with Zoë to talk about what it means for a plant to be intelligent, even without a brain, and how this revolutionary field of research might help us look at plant life a little differently.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop is joined by Reya Manna, founder of the Song Keepers School, for an inspiring conversation that traverses spirituality, the power of the human voice, psychedelics, ancient creation myths, and the cultural significance of storytelling and singing. Reya shares her journey from being discouraged from pursuing a life centered around singing to discovering its deeper healing potential during South American plant medicine ceremonies. The discussion touches on the sacred role of sound in protection and healing, the pitfalls of artificial intelligence's detachment from soul and embodiment, and the importance of nurturing authentic self-expression amidst modern distractions like social media. This rich dialogue emphasizes the profound wisdom carried through connection to nature, the divine feminine, and practices of deep listening, which Reya also integrates into her Song Keepers School. If you're seeking to reconnect with your voice and align with ancient healing traditions, you can learn more about Reya's work and upcoming programs at www.reyamanna.com. The training program this year starts Feb 1st.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast00:32 Rhea Mana's Journey with Singing02:01 The Healing Power of Singing and Shamanic Ceremonies03:43 Exploring Psychedelics and Their Cultural Impact05:56 The Role of Social Media in Modern Spirituality09:02 Desire, Sorcery, and Gnostic Myths18:50 Artificial Intelligence and Its Philosophical Implications23:13 The Influence of Technology on Human Connection35:05 God as Motion and Creative Spark35:39 Shifting Ages and Prophecies37:14 Embodied Knowledge and AI38:17 Rebuilding Traditions and Health41:50 The Spirit of Singing50:14 The Divine Feminine and Spiritual Discernment57:38 Predictive Programming and Creative Principle59:17 Connecting with Voice and Nature01:04:04 Song Keeper School and Spiritual PracticesKey InsightsThe Power of the Voice as a Tool for Healing and Connection: Reya Manna emphasizes that singing is more than a performance—it's a sacred act of self-expression that connects us to our essence and to the unseen world. The vibration of our own voice can ground us, heal emotional wounds, and serve as a tool for blessing and transformation when used with intentionality and love. This deeper understanding of the voice's role in healing can reframe how we view self-expression and creativity.Rediscovering Ancestral Wisdom and Connection to Nature: The conversation highlights how many of us have become disconnected from ancestral practices and the natural world. Reya explains how nature holds wisdom in its patterns and sounds, serving as a "library" of memory and guidance. Through offerings, prayers, and song, individuals can rekindle a relationship with the earth that restores a sense of belonging and purpose.Singing as a Transmission of Love and Sacred Intentions: In contrast to the commodification of music in modern society, Reya describes how the act of singing has traditionally been used by shamans and healers to convey love, protection, and blessings. By building a practice of singing from the heart, individuals can access their authentic voice and align with their higher purpose, amplifying their energy field and positively impacting others.Navigating the Modern Landscape of Technology and AI with Discernment: Stewart and Reya discuss the rise of artificial intelligence and its impact on creativity and self-awareness. They reflect on how AI can replicate but cannot embody the soulful essence of human expression. This prompts a reminder to foster resilience against digital distractions by grounding ourselves in embodied experiences and genuine human connection.The Interplay Between Spirituality, Desire, and Social Conditioning: The discussion delves into the Gnostic myths and the idea that true desires originate from the "high heart" and guide us toward our soul's blueprint. However, lower desires—amplified by social media and consumerism—can entrap us in illusions. Recognizing this distinction can help individuals reclaim their agency and align with their authentic spiritual path.The Divine Feminine and Sacred Balance in Creation: Reya brings attention to the erasure of the divine feminine in many spiritual narratives and emphasizes the importance of restoring balance by honoring both masculine and feminine energies. She shares stories of ancient priestesses and the sacred role of women as conduits of creation and wisdom, suggesting that reclaiming this knowledge is essential for collective healing and spiritual evolution.A Call to Collective Kindness and Creative Agency: The conversation ends with a reflection on the power of individual actions in creating ripples of collective change. Whether through a simple song, a kind gesture, or a moment of deep listening, every act of love and care contributes to a more harmonious world. Reya underscores the importance of remembering that we are creators of our reality, capable of shaping a future imbued with compassion, connection, and truth.

Special Guest: Shannon O'Hara Haider's free workbook at https://soulful-awakening.com/free In this boundary-pushing episode of The Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with Shannon O'Hara, Access Consciousness teacher and creator of the controversial Talk to the Entities program. Shannon opens up about her extraordinary journey from battling depression to embracing her ability to perceive entities—spirits and energies most people can't see. The Gift of Seeing the Unseen Shannon reveals how tools from Access Consciousness, guided by her stepdad Gary Douglas, helped her escape the suffocating weight of depression. By acknowledging her sensitivity to entities rather than suppressing it, she transformed what many see as a "curse" into a profound gift for self-discovery and healing. She challenges conventional thinking: What if the things you fear most about yourself are your greatest superpowers? Breaking Through Limiting Beliefs This episode doesn't shy away from the uncomfortable truths about judgment, fear, and societal taboos surrounding entities. Shannon explains how rejecting judgment—especially of yourself—unlocks deeper intimacy, freedom, and abundance. She offers actionable insights for: Embracing vulnerability as a superpower, not a weakness. Breaking free from autopilot and stepping into self-responsibility. Reframing sensitivity as strength, especially in a world that fears the unseen. Shifting Scarcity Into Abundance We explore how scarcity, whether in money, relationships, or self-worth, is rooted in judgment and fear. Shannon shares how stepping into infinite potential transforms your ability to receive abundance in every area of life. Key Takeaways to Challenge Your Reality: Entities are not the enemy: Awareness of unseen energies can unlock personal and spiritual growth. Sensitivity is your edge: What makes you "different" could be the key to your greatest breakthroughs. Intimacy begins within: Honor, allowance, vulnerability, trust, and gratitude are essential for deeper self-connection. Abundance is a choice: Shift from scarcity to infinite possibility by recognizing your inherent value. A Must-Listen for the Brave If you've ever felt held back by fear, judgment, or the need to fit in, Shannon's insights will push you to rethink what's possible. Whether you believe in entities or not, this episode is about embracing your uniqueness, breaking through limitations, and stepping into the life you were meant to live. Are you ready to challenge your beliefs and explore consciousness on a whole new level? This episode will take you there—and maybe even beyond.

Recorded during the liminal time of year when the veil between the worlds is thin (Halloween, Samhain, Day of the Dead), Rochana and Kathleen discuss how we connect to the unseen — plant devas, our dearly departed, ancestors, angels, and spirit guides.  Animism, a belief that spirit is alive in everything, is a basic principle of making flower essences as we view it as a co-creative activity between ourselves and the spirit of the plant.   We don't need to turn to psychedelic plant medicines to connect with spirit beings. Flower essences can help us open to spiritual connection, practice discernment, and invoke protection on our journeys. Join us for this interesting conversation as we bring in some of our favorite plant spirit helpers.  Essences discussed:  Angelica Hairy Angelica Forget-Me-Not Hound's Tongue Mountain Forget-Me-Not Yarrows Siberian Yarrow Black Tourmaline Hematite Rainbow Hematite Guardian Purification St. John's Wort Mugwort Queen Anne's Lace   Full show notes and transcript on the Flower Essence Podcast website.

When you think about resilience, what comes to mind?Our culture loves narratives about triumphing over hardship. And overcoming pain, heartbreak, and even abuse can make us stronger.However, uplifting “overcoming” too often comes at the expense of actually examining and addressing the lack of care, protection, and support people had to navigate on their path to resilience. We valorize grit and perseverance at the cost of people's health and wellbeing, encouraging them to just keep pushing past the point of burnout.My guest today pulls back the curtain on these narratives of overcoming adversity and building resilience to find that so much of the adversity people face is rooted in how we fail to care for ourselves and each other in our society. Real resilience, she says, isn't about your own personal toughness; it's about how we relate to and support each other.Soraya Chemaly is an award-winning author and activist. She writes and speaks frequently on topics related to gender norms, inclusivity, social justice, free speech, sexualized violence, and technology. She is the author of The Resilience Myth: New Thinking on Grit, Strength, and Growth after Trauma and Rage Becomes Her: The Power of Women's Anger, which was recognized as a Best Book of 2018 by the Washington Post, Fast Company, Psychology Today, and NPR. She has contributed to several anthologies, most recently Free Speech in the Digital Age and Believe Me: How Trusting Women Can Change The World. Soraya is also a co-producer of a WMC #NameItChangeIt PSA highlighting the effects of online harassment on women in politics in America.Listen to the full episode to hear:How Soraya made the connection between our toxic ideology of resilience and how we devalue community support and careHow the idea of “bouncing back” can actually impede change, both personal and socialHow resilience narratives flatten, decontextualize, and depoliticize trauma and recovery Why we need to shift our concept of resilience from individual to communal, cultural, and relationalHow “soldiering on” can perpetuate a lack of options within the systemThe false binaries we have to confront to dismantle the resilience of the status quoHow telling someone they are or need to be resilient shuts down opportunities for real care and supportLearn more about Soraya Chemaly:WebsiteInstagram: @sorayachemalyThe Resilience Myth: New Thinking on Grit, Strength, and Growth After Trauma​​Rage Becomes Her: The Power of Women's AngerBelieve Me: How Trusting Women Can Change the WorldFree Speech in the Digital AgeLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:EP 72: Identifying and Addressing the Burdens of Individualism with Deran Young & Dick SchwartzEP 113:  Curiosity as a Bridge: Uncovering Fears and Building Connections with Scott ShigeokaSeek: How Curiosity Can Transform Your Life and Change the WorldNicked, M.

Every day is a good day to collaborate with the dead according to Perdita Finn, author of Take Back the Magic; Conversations with the Unseen World. Perdita's wisdom, along with revelations from her varied experiences with the unseen world, will surely embolden listeners to engage with their own dead. In describing her relationship with her deceased father, Perdita describes how healing with the dead can strengthen our intuition and change life for the better.  How does one work with the dead?  Well, Perdita advises to put them to work!  And they are more than happy to help, especially if they need to make amends for lifetime wrongs.  The team discusses the importance of paying attention to signs and synchronicities, and the role of ancestors in shaping our paths. The discussion also touches on the spiritual aspects of 12-step programs and the creative process, emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of our connections to the past. Takeaways Perdita helps ordinary people connect with the unseen world. We all have many lives and names within us. The long story of our souls is more complex than reincarnation. Each life is a stitch in the fabric of our existence. The dead can guide and support us from the other side. Healing relationships with the dead can lead to personal growth. Cultural fears around death stem from historical control by organized religion. Forgiveness is a process that can involve the dead making amends. Collaboration with the dead can lead to new creative directions. The dead want connection and to be called upon for help. The dead often communicate through signs and synchronicities. Channeling our loved ones can enhance creative work and writing. 12-step programs embody a radical spirituality without expertism. Ancestral connections can provide healing and insight.

Nothing happens down here without it happening in the spiritual first. And like I was saying, we have to combat that. That's why we pray. That's why we're able to change atmospheres with prayers.”[22:05] The Fallen Angels in the Spiritual WarfareGenesis 6 explains the fallen angels' interactions with human women resulting in the birth of the Nephilim.Historical texts such as Enoch and Josephus provide additional context and support for the biblical narrative.The discussion explores the hybrid nature of the Nephilim and their supernatural abilities.The spiritual warfare that ensued was a result of these events.The fallen angels' evil intentions fueled this ongoing conflict.[35:40] The Flood and Its AftermathActing as a divine intervention, the flood cleansed the earth of the Nephilim and their evil influence.The creation of demons from the spirits of the fallen Nephilim highlights the emergence of a new spiritual realm.Evidence of the flood, such as fossils and petrified remains, is also discussed to illustrate its impact on the earth.Grasping these supernatural events is crucial for understanding the full scope of the biblical narrative.[51:31] The Tower of Babel and Its SymbolismLori elaborates on the story of the Tower of Babel, explaining the significance of the ziggurat's construction.Old writings, such as those of Flavius Josephus, provide insight into the motivations behind building the tower.The tower symbolizes humanity's attempt to reach the divine without relying on God.Lori connects this story to the broader theme of the seed war and the ongoing spiritual struggle between good and evil.[1:01:08] The Role of the Divine Council and Deuteronomy 32God delegated authority to angels to govern the nations.Deuteronomy 32 highlights the roles these divine beings played in the Old Testament.Recognizing the role of the divine council is essential for understanding the larger biblical narrative.[01:05:46] Lori: “ God stands in the congregation of the mighty. He judges among the gods. How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? … And then verse six says, I said, ‘You are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High, but you shall die like men and fall like one of the princes.'”[1:07:55] The Redemptive Plan of JesusJesus reclaimed dominion over the earth, defeating the powers and principalities that once ruled the nations.His actions at significant locations, such as Mount Hermon, and their profound impact on the spiritual realm.Understanding the significance of Jesus' victory over the enemy is crucial for believers.Lori encourages believers to exercise their God-given authority and dominion in the world today.[01:19:30] Lori: “ Jesus literally has conquered it all. He took everything back that the enemy stole, and so the entire ministry of Jesus was not only to bring the kingdom, but to destroy the works of the devil, it's to break the chains and the strongholds that hold us captive in sin, because his authority demonstrated a power over both the physical and the spiritual worlds, and that's what he gives us.”About LoriLori Brazier is a devoted follower of Christ, wife, and mother who balances her faith with a dual career in interior design and writing.

From the perspective of Western science, plants have long been considered unaware, passive life forms; essentially, rocks that happen to grow. But there's something in the air in the world of plant science. New research suggests that plants are aware of the world around them to a far greater extent than previously understood. Plants may be able to sense acoustics, communicate with each other, and make choices… all this without a brain.These findings are fueling a debate, perhaps even a scientific revolution, which challenges our fundamental definitions of life, intelligence, and consciousness.Featuring Zoë Schlanger. SUPPORTOutside/In is made possible with listener support.

He studied electrical signaling in plants and argued that plants use language. Read about his life and work in Orion.This is the now famous study by David Rhoades. Rhoades was derided for his “talking trees” theory, and only was proved correct after his death. Here's an audio story which goes deeper on Rhoades.Lilach Hadany, the scientist who likened a field of flowers to a “field of ears,” also recently found that plants produce sounds when stressed.The study which found that plants respond to the sound of caterpillars chewing, a collaboration between Rex Cocroft and Heidi Appel.The organization of the octopus nervous system is fascinating. CREDITSOutside/In host: Nate HegyiReported, produced, and mixed by Justine Paradis.Edited by Taylor QuimbyOur team also includes Felix Poon and Marina Henke.NHPR's Director of Podcasts is Rebecca LavoieSpecial thanks to Rex Cocroft for sharing the recordings of leafhopper mating calls and chewing caterpillars.  Music by Mochas, Hanna Lindgren, Alec Slayne, Sarah the Illstrumentalist, Brendan Moeller, Nul Tiel Records, Blue Dot Sessions, and Chris Zabriskie.Outside/In is a production of New Hampshire Public Radio.

Plants can do some marvelous things — in addition to being “light eaters” they have their own ways of seeing, hearing and feeling. My guest this week, environmental reporter and author Zöe Schlanger, is here to discuss her new book, The Light Eaters, on the concept of plant intelligence and how it changes our understanding of plant life.

Some believers tend to forget about spiritual forces like angels and demons, while others obsess over them and are constantly worried about demonic influences. But neither of these are biblical responses!
